About us

We're a small video production and post house making product education and B2B content for clients in healthcare technology, SaaS, and other regulated industries. Our work runs from script to screen: writing, stock and screen-capture assembly, motion graphics, and finished deliverables, on a client review cycle. We ship a lot of video with a small team, and we hold a real craft standard on every cut.

The role

We're looking for a freelance Assistant Editor to keep our post pipeline clean and our editors cutting. You'll own media, project hygiene, and deliverables- the work that makes everything downstream fast and predictable. It's a support role with room to grow. AEs who show good instincts get handed sequences.

What you'll do

• Ingest, transcode, and organize footage, holding a consistent bin structure and naming convention across every project
• Source and license stock, music, and graphics, and keep asset documentation tidy
• Capture and prep screen recordings and product UI footage for editors
• Sync audio, build selects and string outs, and prep sequences to spec
• Manage project files, media, and backups across local and shared storage
• Build and export deliverables: masters, versions, social cutdowns, captions, and subtitles
• Track versions, client notes, and turnovers across review rounds so nothing gets cut twice
• Troubleshoot media and project issues before they reach an editor
• Assist on cuts as needed, including assembly, cleanup passes, titles, and lower thirds

What we're looking for

• 2+ years assisting on real post projects, in a shop, agency, or in-house team
• Fluent in Adobe Premiere Pro, and comfortable in After Effects and Audition
• Solid grasp of codecs, frame rates, color space, and export specs
• Meticulous file and media organization. You name things correctly without being asked
• Clear written communication and reliable turnaround against a deadline
• Able to work independently, ask the right question early, and flag problems before they become fires
• Legally authorized to work in the United States

Nice to have

• Motion graphics chops in After Effects
• Experience with captioning and accessibility deliverables
• Familiarity with Adobe Stock, Frame.io, and shared storage workflows
• B2B, SaaS, or product education video experience

Logistics

This is a fully remote contract role for US-based editors. You'll need your own workstation capable of running Adobe Creative Cloud, enough local storage for active projects, and a stable connection for large file transfers. We work standard US business hours with flexibility on when you put in your day, and we run client review rounds on a weekly cadence.
